Gene Keefe, Mary Floyd, Mike Ready, and Chris French led the Monday Morning
Birdwalk at Huntley Meadows Park today, November 3, 2003. There were sixteen
observers on the boardwalk between 0700 and 0900 this morning to witness the
rising fog and the sparkling spider webs in the early morning sunlight. It was
a joy to be there. We saw some birds too. The best observations of the day
were 2 Wilson's Snipe -- how common.
